That's awesome! I'm doing Stargate too! Wanna team up and share stuff ideas/icons/models etc?
My thoughts on Stargates:
Found a number of high resolution models.
Found exactly 1 low resolution model that fits the parameters of the game, it is set up to be animated but it is not animated.
Looking very carefully at the top of the waygates, that glowing circle looks entirely too much like a real stargate.
Current plans/ideas:
Increase the size of the Waygate, drop the location on the map so that it sinks down to the very top, where the circle part is, and hope it still teleports.
In Jass: Alter the teleport thingy, the two squished lighting up spheres to be at a right angle from the current top-down effect, so that it looks like the stargate wormhole exploding everytime a unit steps through. Not completely original but a possible work-around.
Problem 1: Never did a thing in Jass before.
Problem 2: Adjust the object camera to view the upper top. (stargate part) instead of the whole thing or the middle.
